Abstract
Hydrothermal technique is demonstrated for achieving Zn 5( OH )6( CO 3)2 microstructure consisting of nanosheets on zinc foils in the presence of formamide. Formamide concentration and reaction temperature have significant influences on the size and shape of hierarchical Zn 5( OH )6( CO 3)2 structures. A self-assembly mechanism is proposed to explain the growth of Zn 5( OH )6( CO 3)2 microstructure, which can be transformed into sheet-like dense ZnO architectures without loss of the shape features by calcining in air.
